Timing on it basically guarantees I won't be getting it for a good long while

(also, can I just laugh at what BackFire said about how they stole GW's skillbar mechanic? Blizzard's just blatantly copying them now...which is doubly funny being as ArenaNet was started by people who left Blizzard...)

It's about freaking time. The development cycle was getting a little ridiculous even by Blizzard standards.

I see dead or injured or dying people everywhere. The other commanding officers and myself are abandoning the crew and passengers to certain death. As my pod glides slowly in the field of stars, I can see the Hive-Ship becoming smaller and smaller, ripped apart by the deadly laser beams of the Ancients' battlecruisers. The battle for the Arc is lost. I failed, and I'm watching the death of one billion of my own kind, when the Hive is finally destroyed in a blinding, silent explosion.

I hate BS DRM as much as the next guy, but D3 is just too much to resist.

That's a little odd. I've heard people say it was well over 10GB for them. For me it was around 3GB.

I've got a question for anyone in the open beta. Does the real-world currency AH work for you?

EDIT: Eh, nevermind.
